- Travel occasionally to customer sites for onsite support, training, or critical issue resolution.
Requirements
- Bachelors in Electronics Engineering with 2-3 years of experience, or Master's in Electronics Engineering with 1-2 years, specifically in emulation or prototyping environments.
- Hands-on experience with logic design and implementation using FPGAs, including synthesis, place and route, and timing closure.
- Strong working knowledge of Verilog, System Verilog, or VHDL, including the ability to read, debug, and modify RTL.
- Practical experience with FPGA architecture and back-end implementation flows.
- Ability to take a vague customer complaint and turn it into a specific, reproducible issue.
- Comfort working across time zones and managing multiple customer issues in parallel.
- Willingness to dig through synthesis logs, waveform dumps, or FPGA utilization reports.
- Ability to explain complex technical tradeoffs clearly.
- Openness to occasional travel for customer support, training, or onsite troubleshooting.
Desired Qualifications
- Exposure to Xilinx or Altera synthesis tools is a plus.
- Familiarity with Synopsys Prototyping or Emulation hardware and software is a plus.
- Experience with interface protocols like PCIe, AXI, UART, or I2C is a plus, particularly in the context of hardware-software integration.
- Scripting experience in Python, Tcl, or shell is desirable for automating workflows and analyzing log files.
Benefits
- Enable customers to bring up complex SoC designs on emulation and prototyping platforms faster.
- Improve product quality by surfacing real customer pain points to R&D.
- Build customer confidence in Synopsys HAV solutions through responsive, expert-level support.
- Expand adoption of new software features by showing customers how to use them on their actual designs.
- Reduce escalations and support load over time by delivering training that helps customers become more self-sufficient.
- Strengthen customer relationships.
- Contribute to the technical knowledge base and internal best practices.
- Opportunity to join Synopsys Technical Sales Group (TSG) as part of the Hardware Assisted Verification (HAV) team.
- Work alongside expert-level field engineers supporting global customers.
